Deductions & credits

If you already reported the gain on the sale of this property, meaning that you did not treat this as an installment sale, but instead reported all of the gain in the year of sale, you would simply report the interest paid to you from the buyer as Interest income. Specifically, you would enter it as Interest from Seller-Financed Loans. See the screenshot below. Proceed through that section and enter all the necessary information.

As far as the interest that you pay is concerned, it’s possible that this interest qualifies as investment interest expense, which is limited to the amount of investment income you earned for the year. You report investment interest expense in the section Retirement and Investments. See the screenshot. Proceed through that section, reading all the information provided and making all the necessary entries.

There is no deduction for the time spent working with the owners.

See this link concerning Investment Interest Expense, and also see the link below.
